Korean Poke Machines

If you saw our post on Korean Claw Machines (or the Lobster Machine), you’d know that Korea is full of little money-gobbling-difficult-to-win-but-addictive toy machines. You can win anything from gum, golden turtle statues, lighters, or women’s underwear. Well, there is a new machine in town. The stick-poke-out-a-toy-machine. You can win a solar powered bobble head guy or an mp3 player that looks suspiciously like an iPod shuffle. When Simon sees these machines, he is determined to beat them. Luckily we have a huge box full of change that just grows bigger everyday, so we use our coins to fuel the toy machine industry in Korea. Unfortunately, these machines are rigged, as the stick used to poke the toy through the hole is too fat to fit into the hole itself. Honest! We have video proof of the stick going in, but getting jammed because of it’s cheating-outer-ring. If you don’t believe us, check it out:
